Here comes the catch, right? A mouse this
complex must have complex software to install...driver and software compatibility
issues, etc. Wrong. This mouse was a breeze to setup and install. All I
did was unplug my old IntelliMouse and plug the new one in the USB port.
The package comes with IntelliEye software which totals about 30 megabytes
on your hard drive. It includes the standard IntelliPoint features:

The Button Assignment feature,
located on the Buttons tab, enables users to select a feature
for each button. For example, you can reassign a button to enable you
to undo a step, making it easy to correct mistakes as they happen.

The ClickLock feature, located
on the Activities tab, "locks down" a mouse or
trackball button after a single-click. Just click and hold down any
mouse or trackball button for a moment, and your click is locked. With
ClickLock you can drag objects, select blocks of text, open
menus, and so on. Click again to release ClickLock.

The Double-Click Speed feature,
located on the Activities tab, changes the speed at which your
software programs respond to a double-click. Use this feature to
adjust your double-click speed if your double-clicks aren't always
recognized by your program.

The Orientation feature,
located on the Activities tab, improves your pointer movement
for the way in which you hold your device. Using Orientation,
you can hold your mouse or trackball in the position that is most
comfortable for you and then define which way is "up."

The Pointer Speed feature,
located on the Pointer Options tab, adjusts the speed of the
pointer in relation to the speed of your mouse or trackball. Use this
feature to change your pointer speed if the pointer moves too slowly
or too quickly when you move your mouse or trackball.

The SnapTo feature, located on
the Pointer Options tab, automatically moves the pointer to the
default button when you open a dialog box.

The Trails feature, located on
the Pointer Options tab, displays a comet-like trail when you
move the pointer. Use this feature to make the pointer easier to see.
(This feature isn't available in Windows NT.)

The Vanish feature, located on
the Pointer Options tab, hides the pointer when you type. The
pointer reappears when you move the mouse or trackball.

The Scrolling feature, located
on the Wheel tab, enables you to change the number of lines
that you scroll with each notch of the wheel. You can even change the
setting to scroll one screen at a time.

The Wheel Troubleshooter
feature, located on the Wheel tab, helps you to fix problems
that you may encounter when you use the wheel in different programs.
